Osteoid osteoma of the wrist misdiagnosed as de Quervain's tenosynovitis due to normal X-ray at the first visit: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionOsteoid osteomas are benign bone tumors that can occur in various bones throughout the body but are mainly found in the long bones. PRESENTATION OF THE CASE: We report the case of a patient who had been treated for more than three years for a case of de Quervain's tenosynovitis due to tenderness in the first compartment of the right wrist joint. An X-ray on his first visit to a clinic was normal, but it was eventually discovered that he had an osteoid osteoma of the wrist. DISCUSSION: The age of onset and gender proclivity of each disease should be considered. An X-ray should be taken in cases such as this, even to diagnose tendonitis. When any symptom, such as pain, has lingered for a long time and resisted treatment, we must reconsider the diagnosis. In patients with a low risk of tendonitis, it is essential to consider the possibility of other diseases if there is no improvement after treatment. As this patient's tumor was missed on the initial X-ray, it grew to a mature case of osteoid osteoma in three years.
conclusionWe experienced a very educational case of osteoid osteoma of the wrist misdiagnosed as de Quervain's tenosynovitis.
